Work doesn’t just happen.

Not when instant messages are involved, anyway. Notifications are an endless source of distraction. They disrupt concentration. And the very nature of always-on workspaces can be a drain on productivity, stealing minutes from every task.

Focus Mode to the rescue.

Focus Mode by Geekbot is here to help. It’s a brand new integration that brings Pomodoro to Slack, helping you concentrate on tasks while showing your teammates exactly what you’re focused on. It even updates your status to Do Not Disturb – letting work, commence.
